The first blame has to go to those who built the levees 50+ years ago and cut a few corners. (Army Corp. of Engineers built it 50+ years ago as I understand it.) The levees were supposed to withstand a category 3 hurricane. They were not able to meet that spec. >>And several moments of anger and protest for those who neglected the levees. >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >The levees were supposed to withstand a category 3 hurricane. >They were not able to meet that spec. You beat me to it! I was just going to post that the major blame lies with the Corps for their negligence in building inadequately in the first place. But the laid-back locals didn't raise as much hell as they should have. And of course the Bush administration's "response" makes one tremble for Furthermore, New Orleans was NOT hit with a Category 3 hurricane. Katrina bypassed the city, but the *surge* overwhelmed the levees. As if your Looney Left wing drivel matters a twit to anyone. ROTFLMAO! >As if your Looney Left wing drivel matters a >twit to anyone. > >ROTFLMAO! Translation: the above person works for an insurance company in the path of Katrina who told people with flood coverage the damage was done by wind. If they had wind coverage they were told the damage was done by the flood. So John Doe has flood damage, his next door neighbor has wind damage. Same storm, same street, same day.
